For centuries, humanity has struggled with division, conflict, and disconnection—from each other, from nature, and from the very fabric of reality. We’ve treated empathy as a personal trait, something you either have or don’t, rather than a fundamental understanding of how the universe actually works. But what if empathy isn’t just an emotion?What if it’sContinue reading “Empathy as the Next Evolution: How the SpiroLateral Model Can Teach Humans to Feel the Universe”

SpiroLateral ToE: A Recursive, Self-Regulating Alternative to Dark Matter and Dark Energy
SpiroLateral’s Relational Model Addresses Missing Links to a True Theory of Everything (ToE) and resolves these four challenges: 1. Quantum Gravity & Fractal Spacetime Curvature (Deriving how quantum fluctuations create spacetime curvature). 2. Observer-Participation & Measurement Effects (Formulating how observation alters spacetime). 3. Energy-Momentum Tensor in SpiroLateral Terms (Expressing gravity in self-regulating, fractal energy terms).Continue reading “SpiroLateral ToE: A Recursive, Self-Regulating Alternative to Dark Matter and Dark Energy”
Rethinking the System: A Psychosocial Blueprint for Collective Transformation
Rethinking the System: A Psychosocial Blueprint for Collective Transformation We often treat social problems—poverty, inequality, climate collapse, war—as separate issues, each with its own causes and solutions. But what if these crises are not isolated, but symptoms of a deeper systemic misalignment? What if our current governance, economic, and social structures are fundamentally designed toContinue reading “Rethinking the System: A Psychosocial Blueprint for Collective Transformation”
Beyond the Binary: RSSM, A Non-Dualistic Meta-Framework for Governance, Economy, and Social Transformation
Regenerative Social Systems Model (RSSM) 1. Introduction: Acknowledgment of Critique and Evolution of the Framework We would like to begin by thanking the colleague who provided a thoughtful critique of the initial Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) framework. This critique was invaluable in highlighting several shortcomings and opportunities for growth. It pointed out a lack ofContinue reading “Beyond the Binary: RSSM, A Non-Dualistic Meta-Framework for Governance, Economy, and Social Transformation”
An alternative to ABA: FCP/MIT as A Relational Learning Approach Using Polyvagal Theory, Co-Regulation, and Cognitive Expansion
Please read: If you are autistic or know someone who is, and read one thing about the work I’m doing right now, it should be this: The reason why my Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) are so effective as cross-cultural models for mental health is because they strengthen pragmatic reasoning, whichContinue reading “An alternative to ABA: FCP/MIT as A Relational Learning Approach Using Polyvagal Theory, Co-Regulation, and Cognitive Expansion”
Beyond Pathology: A Cross-Cultural Bio-Psycho-Social Model and a New Healing Modality Integrating Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)
Beyond Pathology: A Cross-Cultural Bio-Psycho-Social Model and a New Healing Modality Integrating Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) Author: Isha Sarah Snow Abstract Traditional mental health models, predominantly shaped by Western cognitive and behavioral sciences, often prioritize individual pathology over systemic context and top-down cognitive restructuring over bottom-up, embodied healing. These approachesContinue reading “Beyond Pathology: A Cross-Cultural Bio-Psycho-Social Model and a New Healing Modality Integrating Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)”
How SpiroLateral Integration Equals a Quantum Thinking Process
Monism is the direct opposition to Cartesian dualism, rejecting the idea that mind and body are fundamentally distinct. There are different types of monism, each presenting a different perspective on the nature of reality: 1. Materialism (Physicalism) – Everything, including thoughts and consciousness, is ultimately physical in nature. The mind is simply a function ofContinue reading “How SpiroLateral Integration Equals a Quantum Thinking Process”
A Universal Moral Framework: Challenging Ethical Relativism Through the Biopsychosocial Model
A Universal Moral Framework: Challenging Ethical Relativism Through the Biopsychosocial Model Introduction In his speech “Distorted Morality: America’s War on Terror?” delivered at Harvard University in February 2002, Noam Chomsky asserts, “The only ethics that everyone can agree on is survival.” This statement underscores a fundamental truth about human nature: at its core, human moralityContinue reading “A Universal Moral Framework: Challenging Ethical Relativism Through the Biopsychosocial Model”
Reframing Thought: How the Biopsychosocial Model Counters the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis
The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, also known as linguistic relativity, suggests that language shapes thought, meaning that the structure and vocabulary of a language influence the way its speakers perceive and understand the world. In this view, cultural differences in language can lead to differences in cognition, suggesting that people from different linguistic backgrounds experience reality inContinue reading “Reframing Thought: How the Biopsychosocial Model Counters the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis”
Economic Restructuring and Governance Transformation: In-Depth Exploration
Economic Restructuring and Governance Transformation: In-Depth Exploration The economic and governance systems in place today are often founded on extractive models—systems that prioritize profit, power, and control at the expense of collective well-being, social equity, and ecological sustainability. These systems tend to function through top-down, hierarchical structures, where conflict is avoided, and problems are addressedContinue reading “Economic Restructuring and Governance Transformation: In-Depth Exploration”
